Wimbledon 2025 thread. Jack at Wimbledon!

She had a run where she was relaxed, smiling and everything she hit turned to gold. Then after winning the major it got too serious too soon. Add in the injuries and it’s hard to see her rising again. She should just have fun again.

Great game from Mimi

She’s had injuries, problems with a stalker, problems with her Dad. Plus she’s done too much promotional stuff.

She needs to just focus in her game. This stuff with Alcaraz is a distraction as well.

Dimi was quite right about Radacanu wasn’t he. I remember him having quite the ding dong (normal for him) about in his opinion she won’t get anywhere near her tournament win again, and will just fall away. Not a fan of tennis myself, and she is still young (I think) so maybe has time on her side.

I remember that. It reminded me of all the Andy Murray haters who said for years he'd never win a Grand Slam. Then when he did, it became he'd never win a second one. Then he'd never win a third one...

The odds were massively against Raducanu winning that US Open, it was a fairy tale up there with Leicester winning the PL. Yet some prefer to carp and bitch about how she wouldn't win another one, as if winning one wasn't an incredible achievement that thousands of tennis players would give anything to achieve. Possibly a combo of misogyny and jealousy was involved in his bizarre ranting.

Yeah, this. She’ll always have done what a tiny minority of those in the sport have done, and she was a delight to watch. I’d love to see her get back up there.

Fair play to her, making a fist of this

This young Swansea girl has some skills!

Lots to look forward to with her over the next few years.

I don’t think she has the guns to win, but it’s lovely to watch some of her shot making. The commentary is starting to get on my wick. The script is obviously pro Emma…or is that just my Swans chippiness kicking in…?

No, it’s ridiculous. No balance at all.

Very one sided commentary.

Very one sided commentary.

It’s obviously because she’s the British number 1 but the young kid is doing so well given she’s 5 years younger than Raducanu. The commentators are disappointed when she wins a point.

I like Raducanu but it’s embarrassing how worked up she’s getting because she’s beating a young kid years behind her.

I’m not a tennis fan but commentary is commentary, and this is umming as they say.

I'm suprised Raducanu hasn't called the physio on court because of a chipped fingernail

Great effort by Mimi, what an experience and took 6 games of ER. Well done

Be interesting to see them play each other in a couple of years’ time.

If Mimi can sought out her double fault serving and be consistent on the rallies she will go very far.

Too many freebie points given to Raducanu .

Great experience for her though
